Sea Edge’s panoramic ocean views and incredible contemporary design make it an idyllic property to sit and watch the world go by.

Set on the edge of the cliff overlooking the water, while away blissful days at the aptly named Sea Edge in Downderry. Clean lines blend with natural colours and a striking wood clad exterior, resulting in an architecturally astounding holiday home.
The large open plan living area is edged by glass and leads onto a sun terrace, which frames the endless views to the south and west. Finished in neutral tones and organic materials, this is a space for switching off and getting away from it all. The minimalist kitchen has everything you need for hosting, and the statement dining table looks out across the sea. After leisurely suppers, gather beside the wood burner for a game of chess, lounge on the corner sofa in front of the Smart TV or stretch out on the window seat and watch the stars appear.
On the lower ground floor, all three ocean view bedrooms open onto the patio and come with their own en-suites. The master is a sleek king size room with a walk-in wardrobe, bedroom two has a super king size zip and link bed, which can be made up as twins, and bedroom three is another stunning king size room. Nestled at the back of the house, a dedicated TV room is ideal for movie nights.
Anchored at the bottom of the property, Sea Edge’s waterside garden exudes tranquillity. Carry sharing platters and summer cocktails down to the outdoor dining table and watch afternoons spread out before you with nothing to do but relax. Surrounded by coastal plants and grasses, you’ll be able to enjoy the sea view in privacy.
Sea Edge is set in the middle of the charming village of Downderry and just a short walk from Seaton. Much quieter than the buzzing north coast towns, this peaceful location is the perfect retreat from everyday life. The shingle beaches are just a short walk down the hill and there are numerous sandy coves along the coastline, including Whitsand Bay and Tregantle Beach. The immensely popular town of Looe is a 20 minute drive away, and home to a myriad of restaurants and shops.
The sea views are impossible to ignore. Whether you’re relaxing in the garden or curled up in the window seat, there are so many spaces to just sit and watch the ebb and flow of the tide.

Area Map
Local Area
Downderry
Beaches and watersports
South East Cornwall is sprinkled with pretty beaches and coves. Great for families, Downderry Beach is a mix of sand and shingle, and the sheltered Seaton Beach is just a five minute stroll away. Tregantle Beach and the numerous sandy coves at Whitsand Bay are less than 15 minutes away by car. Great for surfing and bodyboarding, we’d recommend lessons for beginners at Whitsand Bay as there are some rip currents. The ever popular Looe Beach and Talland Bay are also a short drive to the west.
Activities for children
If the weather takes a turn, the Monkey Sanctuary in Looe makes a great family day out. Home to a range of species, the income from visitors goes towards protecting monkeys across the globe. Just across the border in Plymouth, there’s a whole host of activities for children, including the National Marine Aquarium, the Pavilions Ice Skating Rink and a large Vue cinema complex. Adrenalin Quarry near Liskeard is a must for thrill-seekers, with a 490m zip wire, giant swing and inflatable aqua park.
Outdoor pursuits
Follow the South West Coast Path towards Rame Head and you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views across Plymouth Sound to the east and The Lizard to the west. The route from Downderry to Seaton and out towards Looe, Polperro and Polruan is also recommended, as is the inland walk through the woods to Hissenford. If you enjoy cycling, drive to Bodmin or Wadebridge and embark on the scenic Camel Trail to Padstow. Golfers are also well catered for with the Looe and Whitsand Bay golf courses nearby, and St Mellion just 13 miles away.
Food and drink
Set in the heart of Downderry, Bewshea's is a laid back tapas bar and a great setting for lunch, cocktails or an evening meal. There are a handful of cafés and pubs in nearby Seaton and you’ll find incredibly fresh seafood at The Sardine Factory in Looe. For delicious casual dining, we’d suggest a trip to The Beach House in Seaton which is just five minutes from Downderry. There are a whole host of high quality restaurants and bars in Plymouth, while Camel Valley and Knightor vineyards are also within an hour’s drive.
Time for pampering
For a truly immersive pampering experience, treat yourself to a day of relaxation at the Gaia Spa at Boringdon Hall in Plymouth. With 12 different treatment rooms, a stunning pool and patio hot tubs, the holistic experiences bring together the elements of earth, fire, water and air. If you don’t mind a 45 minute drive, the charming Fowey Hall Hotel Spa has incredible views over the harbour, a hot tub and an indoor pool. Many of the spa day packages come with a wonderfully indulgent afternoon tea, the perfect way to finish the day.

Truly a perfect stay. I would definitely stay at this property again. The view is amazing and just being at the property is enough - we lazed by the window just looking out at the sea for hours. My family and I loved Seaton Beach, it has amazing rock pools you can explore and a laid-back vibe.

We had a lovely week at Sea Edge. The property is situated right on the sea, with amazing views whatever the weather. It's furnished with everything you could need and more. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area on foot, bike and by car. Perfect Stays were professional from booking till departure, offering any assistance where necessary. They provide an excellent service.

My family and I absolutely loved our holiday in Sea Edge. It is a stunning house, impeccably designed and furnished, with an incredible view. It was spotless when we arrived, and the welcome hamper full of local produce was a really lovely touch. We particularly loved watching the activity on the beach below from the comfort of the window seat, relaxing on the balcony, eating al fresco, and luxuriating in the hot tub. The service from the Perfect Stays team was excellent throughout. The booking process is easy and efficient, and I found every member of staff with whom I dealt courteous, friendly, and very professional.

The McCrea Family, Dublin | Trustpilot - August 2022

Our second stay at Sea Edge and so very happy we returned! The weather was amazing for the season, looking at the view, beach, sea and sunshine really made our stay. Very good use of hot tubs, sun beds, great food at The Beach House in Seaton, The Three Pilchards in Polperro and The Finnygook Inn, in Crafthole. Overall, a fabulous stay at this wonderful property - we filled the 'bottle recycling bin'!

It is such a beautiful place. Just watching the dogs on the beach is great 'TV'. The walk through the country park to the pub in Hessenford is a nice one. Hope that all that come here after us have a nice time.

Sea Edge is a beautiful property with the most stunning views over the beach and out to sea. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything you could need. Very clean with lovely bedding. The property has a great window seat for watching those views. Downderry has a lovely beach which is within walking distance. Sea Edge lives up to it's name as it feels like you are right on the sea. Excellent service from Perfect Stays from start to finish.

Our second visit to Sea Edge and it still gives the 'wow' factor
when you walk in the front door. We have loved it here both times,
as has Chester our dog, who has loved the long walks on the beach
every day. Thank you for creating such a beautiful haven.

The Allen Family, Kent - April 2021
“
Had the most amazing week here in such a beautiful house. It was
so nice to sit in the window seat and watch the sea and the beach
below. Beautifully furnished and the hot tub was lovely to go and
relax in.
Wow indeed! What a magnificent view, thoroughly enjoyed by
all... adults, children and canine! We have had a super week sea
fishing in Looe, swimming in the sea at Windsand Bay and walking
along the coastline to Polperro.
Like so many of your guests, the magnetic draw of Sea Edge
brought us back here to enjoy the view, amazing architecture and
hot tub. Would love to return one day.

The Stancliffe Family, West Yorkshire - April 2021
“
This was our second visit and looking forward to returning in
May 2020 for two more weeks. Visited Kingsand and Cawsand which was
a very quiet village and had a lovely lunch at The Devonport Inn.
Sat in the sunshine looking at the sea eating fresh mackerel and
had a paddle boarding lesson with Lucy at SUP. She was a great
teacher and would recommend her highly - the paddling has come on
leaps and bounds.
Sea Edge is so relaxing but in such a great location that you
can be as active or relaxed as you wish. We also had Nina from
Devon Chef cook at Sea Edge one evening and the meal was superb.
Also ate at the Blue Plate three times. Faultless.

Speak to our Property Experts
We’ve personally visited every house – and even stay in many of them too – so whether it’s about the house, the local area or a special surprise you’d like help planning, our team of property experts can provide personal insights and answer any questions to help you find and plan the perfect stay.
A tranquil retreat for five guests, this home enjoys incredible ocean views over Charlestown and St Austell Bay. There are three ground-floor bedrooms, making it easily accessible with all three featuring French doors opening up directly onto the terrace. Situated on the South West Coast Path, it's a haven for outdoor enthusiasts with Carlyon Bay Golf Club and Porthpean Beach within walking distance.
Having started life as two fisherman’s cottages on the edge of the Porthleven, Salt Spray is now one striking ocean-view home designed by local architect, Richard Andrews. Sleeping up to eight guests across two spacious floors, the innovative reverse design makes the most of its incredible coastal backdrop, with modern facilities and eco-friendly features peppered throughout. Sitting on the South West Coast Path, be on the beach within moments or head for the iconic Porthleven Harbour in search of fantastic restaurants, bars and delis.
An architectural masterpiece, Eden in Downderry is home to sparkling ocean views and an outdoor pool. Finished to an impeccably high standard, its bespoke interiors are reminiscent of a tropical beach house, where gentle tides are a short walk away. Sleeping six guests and welcoming dogs, it becomes an idyllic sea-view hideaway for those wishing to switch off on the south coast.
We understand that some holidays aren’t complete without a four-legged friend by your side. Here are a few reminders for bringing your dogs with you to Sea Edge:
Dogs staying at the property must be over 12 months old.
To keep the bedrooms and furniture fur-free and to avoid any damage, we ask that dogs are kept out/off these areas and sleep in their own beds/crates in the utility room overnight.
Please make sure to pick up any dog mess from all outside areas before you leave, and place it in the rubbish bins provided.
We understand that accidents happen, so if your dog has a slip-up on a carpeted area, please let the housekeeping team know so they can arrange a professional clean (charges may apply).
Please make sure dogs are clean and dry on your return to the property to avoid muddy paw prints inside. It’s best you bring dog towels with you as the house towels aren’t suitable to dry dogs with.
For safety reasons, we ask that dogs aren’t left unattended at the property, or in your car, at any time during your stay. Looking for a dog sitter? Perfect Stays can organise one for you as part of our inclusive concierge service (subject to availability).
